EThOS: priorities now
• Improve handling of large and non-text files
• Identifiers – DOI for all UK theses?
• Digitise old theses to achieve full national archive
• British Library preservation service for theses

Replacing the BL Digital Library System
• BL’s preservation system – 10 years old, built in-house
• July 2017 – ITT for replacement; 2018 - build
• Enhance capacity for BL – but could offer to others
Current system (solely BL) Replacement (shared service)
Single tenant (British Library) Multi-tenancy enabled
Preservation-focused system Preservation and access
800 TB, replicated over four sites Dramatic increase in scalability

EThOS: access and/or preservation
• EThOS as an access service continues
• Thesis preservation service offered by BL
• HEIs choose:
– Downloadable theses available in EThOS
– Preservation copies held in DAMPS
– Either, both or neither
• Pending DAMPS launch, the BL IR is used as the ingest channel for all
content:
– Accessible theses surfaced in EThOS
– Preservation-only copies permanently embargoed until transfer to
DAMPS

– “Defiant objects” - https://defiantobjects.wordpress.com/
– Mostly PDFs
• Existing repositories & CRIS systems
• Talking to suppliers, building BL expertise
• Costs & approach

A shared access repository
This repository provides access to articles, conference papers and many other research outputs produced by researchers based in the UK’s museums, galleries and major libraries. We aim to provide free, immediate access to as many items as possible

Next steps
• New & growing team at BL
• ITT for a pilot phase - January
• Agree requirements – first stage, and beyond
• Start small: invite few IROs to be pilot partners – give us
time rather than funds: feed in reqts, guidance, testing, first
adopters
• Costs & charges
• Approach to preservation
• Governance, policies, service levels, workflows.
